Florals for Fall (by Anna Sui)
I know that technically fall isn’t here yet, but let’s be real, the passing of Labor Day is always good enough for me. This illustration, I hope, captures my love of fall fashion, with this portrait of model Rhadika Nair wearing a floral coat and dress by Anna Sui...
Madame Butterfly: Dita Von Teese Modeling Jean Paul Gaultier Butterfly Dress, Spring 2014 Couture
I won't lie. I've been pretty obsessed with this last illustration, a portrait I've been working on here and there for the past couple of weeks of Dita Von Teese in this butterfly creation. She wore it on the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2014 couture show....
All Aglow: Free People Beaded Boots
Those of you have been following my blog a while may know I love Free People. I have illustrated some of the looks here before and I wear the label's clothes more than any other. The boots pictured here are available online and when I saw them they made me think of...
Wanted: Anna Sui Spring 2017
Florals for spring? How original. Yeah we all remember that famous line from Miranda Priestley. But florals can definitely be original as well as romantic and rock star cool if your name is Anna Sui. So this here is an illustration of model Gigi Hadid wearing her...
Starling Night (Inspired by Elie Saab Fall 2017)
Here is a recent work I'm rather proud of inspired by the new collective of Elie Saab in all its ethereal beauty. Because so many of the dresses this season were in black and jewel tones like purple I tried to incorporate that into this painting with the appearance of...
Dolly Girls (Anna Sui Spring 2017)
Well it's safe to say I've been on an Anna Sui kick. The only problem is I have too much inspiration and not enough time to make all my ideas come to life. Pictured here is my first illustration to be completed in acrylic paints on acrylic paper. (Thanks to Suzie and...
The Princess and the Frog (Inspired by Anna Sui Fall 2017)
When the Disney movie "Beauty and the Beast" came out in 1991, I was already aging out of animated flicks and turned my nose up at it, even as a good friend had it on repeat at home on her VCR. So I surprised myself a little when I admitted, over a quarter...
Squirrel for Town & Village
I haven't had yet a chance to post about it, but this little guy ran alongside an editorial in Town & Village on the great debate over squirrel feeding a month ago. It was actually kind of refreshing to do a non-fashion illustration, though of course I couldn't...
Portrait of a Victorian Family (Inspired by Alexander McQueen S/S 2017)
I realize I've been slow to post lately; I'm much better about updating on Instagram, but I really wanted to share this recent piece inspired by Alexander McQueen menswear Spring/Summer 2017 and women's Ready to Wear, also Spring/Summer 2017. It was also inspired by...
Lily Collins looking like a princess in Muhair Zurad
For me the most magical fashion moment of the Golden Globes earlier this month —and there were many — was when Lily Collins stepped out in that intricate, lacy pink gown by Zuhair Murad. The dress, along with her dark hair up and her lips red made me think of when...
Take Me Awaaaay!
As the old expression goes, “Winter is coming,” but on the upside, so are the holidays, so there is a light ahead of the wind-filled tunnel. I used to hate this time of the year, but now that I'm a mom I find that I don't mind all the sparkly things everywhere and all...
